<H3>Usage:</H3>
   <BLOCKQUOTE>

         where <I>llx lly urx ury</I> are layout dimensions to become
         the screen view limits.
      </BLOCKQUOTE>
   </BLOCKQUOTE>

<H3>Summary:</H3>
   <BLOCKQUOTE>
      The <B>view</B> command is most often used without arguments to
      center and scale the screen view of the layout window to fit the layout. <P>

      <B>view bbox</B> returns the bounding box dimensions of the layout,
      in the coordinate system of the layout. <P>

      <B>view get</B> returns the coordinates of the screen limits in
      the coordinate system of the layout (internal database units). <P>

      <B>view</B> <I>llx lly urx ury</I> sets the view so that the
      corners of the screen are at the indicated positions in the
      coordinate system of the layout.  Where the dimensions do not
      match exactly to the screen aspect ratio, the view will be
      centered on the indicated coordinates.
   </BLOCKQUOTE>

<H3>Implementation Notes:</H3>
   <BLOCKQUOTE>
      <B>view</B> is implemented as a built-in command in <B>magic</B>.
